Description
A decadent dessert combining the flavors of chocolate, peanut butter, and pretzels in a delicious pie.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups pretzel crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine pretzel crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled pretzel crust.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chopped chocolate and coconut oil. Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the melted chocolate until fully combined.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until set. For best results, chill overnight.
- Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate layer before chilling.
- You can also substitute the creamy peanut butter with crunchy peanut butter for added texture.
